Ending Shark Finning
  No. 190, June 24, 2021
Hello Revelator readers,
Shark finning has been illegal in U.S. fisheries since 2000, but that doesn’t mean we’re doing all we can to stop the cruel practice. A new bill now in Congress could help close several critical gaps in the rules.
How much difference can one U.S. state make? If it’s California, a lot. The state soon has an opportunity to play an important role in stopping the global biodiversity crisis.
Damming news:
Efforts to remove four dams on the Klamath River took a big leap forward last week. The project is expected to transform the struggling watershed, which is why scientists have been working for years to understand everything in it — from sediment to stoneflies to salmon.
